Mar 5, 2021 at 4:54 comment added Kal I don't have the reputation to write an answer yet, but I believe that you might be able to avoid this "login to" vs "log into" dilemma if you used "log in at host.com" instead. E.g., you can then say stuff like "please log in at host.com" or "ok, I'm logged in at host.com. What next?"
Nov 22, 2019 at 17:16 comment added jinglesthula @res "you can verb any noun". :) Though, comparing "ssh into a workstation" to "login to host.com", where "log in" exists, it's a bit like saying "entrance the building" when "enter the building" already works. hash-tag-late-to-the-party.

Nov 19, 2010 at 20:53 comment added res Using "ssh" or "telnet" as a verb isn't uncommon either. I hear plenty of "I can ssh into my workstation from my home computer." (Not that this addresses the "Log in or login?" question.)
